Fix stack overflow with recursive generic protocols (depth limit) (#21858)
## Summary

This fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1736 where recursive
generic protocols with growing specializations caused a stack overflow.

The issue occurred with protocols like:
```python
class C[T](Protocol):
    a: 'C[set[T]]'
```

When checking `C[set[int]]` against e.g. `C[Unknown]`, member `a`
requires checking `C[set[set[int]]]`, which requires
`C[set[set[set[int]]]]`, etc. Each level has different type
specializations, so the existing cycle detection (using full types as
cache keys) didn't catch the infinite recursion.

This fix adds a simple recursion depth limit (64) to the CycleDetector.
When the depth exceeds the limit, we return the fallback value (assume
compatible) to safely terminate the recursion.

This is a bit of a blunt hammer, but it should be broadly effective to
prevent stack overflow in any nested-relation case, and it's hard to
imagine that non-recursive nested relation comparisons of depth > 64
exist much in the wild.

Markdown files within the mdtest/ subdirectory are tests of type inference and type checking; executed by the tests/mdtest.rs integration test.

See crates/ty_test/README.md for documentation of this test format.
